Ask any one of the sophisticated and discerning businesses, high net worth individuals (HNWIs) and investors who have made Bermuda their jurisdiction of choice as to why they chose the jurisdiction and you’ll hear that Bermuda is the smartest option for offshore structuring. There are a multitude of reasons which, taken together, produce the Bermuda advantage.

Bermuda is ideally located between Europe and the US and easy to get to with daily direct flights to and from Toronto, London and US gateway cities. The flight from New York to Bermuda is less than two hours.
